When I bought my original hanging basket that contained 3 Pineberry plants, they appeared to have already flowered and had small buds ready to become the unusual white strawberried that the big, bright label promised.
For some reason they never progressed passed this stage, rather like pollination had been unsuccessful. They were prolific at.sending out runners though and I was able to breed enough plantlets to fill a couple of large square planters.
I overwintered the lot and they recovered well in Spring and have recently sent out flowers. I spotted that the petals have fallen from a few so I had everything crossed and I'm over the moon to see that the first had started to swell and is on its way to becoming a Pineberry!
